Extractions: Vice Director: Prof. Göran Marklund The research profits from a fruitful combination of both laboratory experiments and space experiments as well as theory and numerical simulation. It is carried out in two research groups, the Laboratory Plasma Group and the Space Plasma Group . To ensure good contact between theory and experiments, theorists are included in each of the Laboratory and Space Plasma groups and not in a separate theory group.

Extractions: Fusion - Physics of a Fundamental Energy Source Photo Credit: NGC 2440, Hubble Space Telescope The term "nebula" was originally used by astronomers to refer to any "fuzzy' patch in the sky that could be easily distinguished by a telescope, but was not sharp like stars or planets. Charles Messier, an eighteenth century French astronomer, published his famous catalogue of these objects in 1784 so that he and other comet hunters would not confuse them with comets. We now know that some of the "nebulae" of Messier's catalogue are other galaxies and some are clusters of stars. On the plasma graph, "nebula" refers to clouds of interstellar dust and gas within our own galaxy made visible by their interaction with nearby stars or star remnants. Emission Nebulae Interstellar plasma which absorbs and re-emits electromagnetic radiation from close by hot young stars... Reflection Nebulae Dust particles which scatter and reflect light from nearby bright young stars... Planetary Nebulae Ejected matter from a low mass star near the end of the star's life...

Extractions: Notes: The content of this site concentrates on fundamental topics and formulas that are needed for understanding and solving corresponding theoretical and practical problems. It does not claim to be comprehensive with regard to special aspects of plasma- or atomic physics. In some cases the approach differs from corresponding treatments in standard textbooks where the latter can be shown to be flawed. It is indicated in the corresponding entry when this is the case. Absorption: Light can be absorbed by Photoionization Ion for this process is independent of the intensity of the radiation. However, for intensities below a certain threshold it is obvious that it will be reduced due to the disturbing influence of Plasma Field Fluctuations . One can adopt the efficiency factor w )= E w /(E w p where E w is the electric field strength of the radiation with frequency (as given by the intensity I= E w p p ,e ,I ) the effective plasma fluctuation field (see Plasma Field Fluctuations and Stark Broadening with T n This leads to the circumstance that the Optical Depth with regard to photoionization is not proportional to the column density any more but has to be determined through the integral

Extractions: Document last updated Welcome to the Radio and Space Plasma Physics Group The Radio and Space Plasma Physics Group is at the forefront of research into the interaction of planetary environments with the solar wind. The most spectacular evidence of this interaction are the aurora which occur in the regions surrounding both the north and south magnetic poles. To understand these complex interactions, information from a broad range of theoretical and experimental studies is required and the group is active in many national and international collaborations. Experimental studies with spacecraft and ground based facilities are being carried out. The group builds and operates ground based radar facilities including the SPEAR radar currently being constructed on Svalbard and the CUTLASS radars. (The CUTLASS radar in Finland is shown below.) This site contains information about the work of the group and its experimental facilities as well as providing access to both real time and archived data.
